Ⅱ.Cloze Test (10 points, 1 point for each)
下列短文中有十个空白,每个空白有四个选项。根据上下文要求选出最佳答案,并在答题纸上将相应的字母的字母涂黑。
Although American informality(不拘礼节)is well known, many new visitors
think that it indicates a "lack of respect." This is
especially true in the
business world. Americans often use first names 11 meeting a stranger and do
not always shake hands. They often just smile and say "Hi" or "Hello," 12
than using a more formal hand shake. It is good to remember that
to an
American such an informal greeting really means the 13 thing as a more
formal hand shake someplace else. 14,
Americans do not usually give a
special "farewell" or hand shake to each person when they leave a party or
business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group or
perhaps say, "Well, so long everybody, I'll see you tomorrow." They
then
will leave. 15 hand shakes.
Americans seem 16 totally hurried and hard
working or totally informal and at ease. Often you will see men working at
office desks 17 their suit coats and ties. They may lean far back in their
chairs and even put their feet up on the
desk 18 they talk on the telephone.
This is not meant to be rude.
A visitor to the United States should
therefore understand that being in a great 19 does not indicate
unfriendliness and being informal and at ease does not show a lack of
respect. Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at
first may seem puzzling to a visitor. In 20 you will learn these new ways.

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
The economic costs of noise to society are several. Airports are currently
operating at less than capacity because of noise
regulations which restrict
their hours of operation. For instance, at Washington's National Airport no
jet traffic is allowed from 11 pm to 7 am. Other airports restrict the use
of certain runways. One estimate is that noise restrictions reduce possible
airport use by 20 percent. The profitable cargo trade is especially affected
by night restrictions.
In the case of airports, jet engines may be modified to reduce their noise
level, or insulation(隔音)from air traffic noise
may be provided by the
purchase of land around airports or the insulation of buildings. One
estimate is that $5.7 billion would
be required to equip all existing jet
engines with noise control devices. However, considering the current state
of the art, even taking this step will not reduce noise levels at all points
to acceptable values. Some combination of methods is probably
necessary.
If all aircraft were made quieter by existing methods, there would be a
number of economic benefits. An increase in airport
capacity would occur.
Property values near airports might rise. Transportation costs to and from
airports could be reduced since the airports now could be located closer to
population centers.
Much research still needs to be done on the economic aspects of noise
reduction and noise effects. Although some of the effects
of noise pollution
are known, more must be discovered about its effects on health,productivity,
property values and the quality of life. Furthermore, the cost of noise
pollution control to the economy as a whole needs to be investigated.
The public must be alerted to the dangers and economic costs of noise
pollution so that people may make intelligent choices and
exert appropriate
pressures.
21.There is no jet traffic at Washington's National Airport from 11 pm to 7
am because ____________.
A、it is extremely dangerous to fly in the dark
B、noise regulations restrict the hours of airport operation
C、some of its runways are not in good condition
D、cargo planes produce disturbing noises
22."The current state of the art"(in Para.2)means ____________.
A、a developed sense of beauty
B、the volume of present-day traffic
C、the most recently developed technology
D、insulation of air traffic noise
23.Noise reduction could lead to ____________.
A、increased airport capacity
B、lower property values
C、effective modification of existing jet engines
D、more transportation costs to and from airports
24.What is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A、Psychological strain.
B、Handling capacity of cargo.
C、Measures for noise reduction.
D、Public pressures.
25.The author of the passage is concerned primarily with ____________.
A、the effects of noise on the quality of life
B、the role of air traffic restrictions
C、the production of quieter engines
D、the economic aspects of noise reduction
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place
in the body:the body's oxygen consumption is
reduced;the heart beat
decreases;muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased
sympathetic(交感的)nervous system activity. This restful state not only
allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on
the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion,
and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy(争论). A recent report
by Dr.David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal"American
Psychologist"said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many
beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation(冥想)does.
Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe
that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition
of deep relaxation.
The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation
response can be reached by a number of methods, and the
methods themselves
are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best;on
another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are
aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis(自我心理分析)
and progressive muscle relaxation. Although these
techniques may not, in the
end, produce more of a relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a
chair, they have the added
benefit of structure and discipline, and for
these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
26.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true
when a person is in a state of deep relaxation?
A、The body takes in less oxygen.
B、The heart beats less frequently.
C、Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.
D、The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.
27.People seem to agree that ____________.
A、sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
B、structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
C、to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
D、what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
28.In the third paragraph, the phrase"getting there"means ____________.
A、arriving at one's destination
B、getting what one wants most
C、finding out a suitable relaxation technique
D、reaching a state of deep relaxation
29.As far relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that ____________.
A、aims are more important than means
B、means are more important than aims
C、more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques
D、some relaxation techniques are better than others
30.The author's attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best
described as ____________.
A、subjective
B、objective
C、optimistic
D、critical
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
People seldom feel neutral about poetry(诗). Those who love it sometimes
give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and
love. It isn't. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for
life itself and its human
experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle
sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for
nothing. That's not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words-in
poetry or in life-but when words represent and
recreate genuine human
feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is,
in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who
know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their
sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and
their range of human feelings.
One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned
with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and
sometimes poems can
be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how
people feel rather than how
people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language
for feeling, and one of poetry's most insistent merits involves its attempt
to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words
what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares
about? Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that
feels just right to a reader. No
single poem can be said to express all the
things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of
experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, "Yes, that
is just what it is like;I know exactly what that line means but
I've never
been able to express it so well."Poetry can be the voice of our feelings
even when our minds are speechless with
grief or joy.
31."People seldom feel neutral about poetry"(in Para.1)in this context
means that ____________.
A、few people think that poetry is neutral
B、people always differ in their views about poetry
C、people rarely take a biased opinion about poetry
D、people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally
useless
32.The author suggests that ____________.
A、poetry tends to make the reader disappointed
B、poetry makes its readers sentimental
C、poetry is more important than words
D、poetry often captures real human feelings
33.According to the author, poetry ____________.
A、is more than just words
B、is the poets' feelings about words
C、is anything but patterns of lines
D、is an experiment on the use of words
34.Poetry tries, persistently, to express ____________.
A、what love and death mean
B、what people think about themselves
C、what people feel but find it hard to describe
D、how people go through life
35.This passage is mainly about ____________.
A、the structure of poetry
B、the components of poetry
C、the nature and importance of poetry
D、the appreciation of poetry

Ⅶ.Translation form English into Chinese (15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
If you only need to travel a short distance, quickest way to travel in most
cities is on foot. During working hours the
traffic is very heavy on most
city streets, sometimes coming to a complete stop in places. As a result,
many people prefer to walk. You should therefore be aware of some of the
traffic laws. It is against the law in many cities to cross the street
at any place except at the corner. You should not cross the street unless
there is a green traffic light facing in the direction
you plan to cross. In
small towns, these rules may not be followed as closely, because the traffic
is usually not so heavy.
However, the purpose of the laws is to provide for the safety and protection
of the people. Obeying traffic signals is
especially important if you come
from a left-hand drive country. Remember to look both ways for automobiles
when you cross the street.
